HELLO 2019!

2018 was a truly eventful year not just for Gujarat, but also for most of our celebs, who made headlines for all the right reasons. Here’s taking a look at what our D-Town achievers, who have a lot to offer to their fans in different fields in the New Year, have to share:

MALHAR THAKAR: 2017 and 2018 saw a lot of experimentation in Gujarati cinema, and gave us a sense of direction, about what is really loved by the audience. So, 2019 could just be the best year for Gujarati cinema. The industry is going to deal with different subjects and concepts. With audiences loving Gujarati films, I feel encouraged to work better and offer them the best that we can.

PRATIK GANDHI: I expect to see many experiments not just in Gujarati films, but also in web content. Thanks to Gujarati films and the Bollywood film Mitron, 2018 was fantastic for me. In 2019, it is going to be all about Gujarati films, Bollywood and a web series. I am really looking forward to the new year, and feel happy to be a part of so many experiments that are happening.

2018 was great both professionally and personally as it was a mix of good work, play and vacations with family. I spent most of it on the sets of Ishqbaaaz, which had become another home away from home. I made some great friends, learnt a lot and made my debut in Gujarati films. In 2019, I look forward to another rocking year, where I can do great work, take better care of my health and spend more time with my family.

DEEKSHA JOSHI

In 2019, I hope to play characters that I haven’t done till date. I want to keep doing better work and since I know where I need to improve, I will work on those things. I want to be a part of scripts that have a meaningful message and are entertaining at the same time. I find films with good messages appealing.

I want better Gujarati films to be made, which will automatically see more people buying tickets. The government recently cut down the GST slabs for tickets, which should help. I want more prime time shows to be allotted to the local film industry. Gujarati films are not getting enough exposure. I want to work in better and bigger films. I have been learning dancing for quite some time now and I want to play a positive lead character in a Bollywood film.

VIPUL MEHTA

2018 was a successful year for Dhollywood and I expect the industry to perform even better this year. But I am really looking forward to better support from the audience. Unlike other regional film industries, Gujarati audience still doesn’t want to spend money to watch Gujarati films. I hope that will change, they will take pride in their films and invest more in its growth.

MAYUR CHAUHAN

I didn’t have a release in 2018, and my last film Karsandas Pay & Use released in 2017. So, I am looking forward to 2019 with a lot of excitement, as Macchu is all set to release this year. We have worked really hard on this film and I hope the audience will accept it. Apart from that, my play Jaane Woh Kaise Log The will be staged at different venues. Also, our play Akupar has been going steady.

TAPAN VYAS

I look forward to good, mature content in our films. While the number of Gujarati films being made has gone up, we need quality content that will make our industry stand out and compete with other regional industries. We collectively need to work towards making films that will draw more audiences to the theaters and give them value for their money. I am hopeful that 2019 will be the year of great films in Dhollywood.
